As many people in the Stevens Point area start to decorate their homes for the holiday season, finding the perfect Christmas tree becomes a priority. And while some will be looking for the convenience of a manufactured tree from a store, others prefer the smell and experience of a freshly cut evergreen propped in a stand filled with water.
If you are looking to purchase a “real” Christmas tree this holiday season, the Stevens Point Journal compiled a list of nearby locations to check out. If your business offers pre-cut or cut-your-own Christmas trees and you would like to be included on this list, please email Erik Pfantz at EPfantz@usatodayco.com.
